Germany: Report on Observance of Standards and Codes-FATF Recommendations for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2010) accessed December 26, 2024

Summary

This report reviews observance of standards and codes on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations for antimoney laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) for Germany. The report reveals that the AML/CFT framework is not fully in line with the FATF Recommendations. There are weaknesses in the legal framework and in sanctioning for noncompliance with AML/CFT requirements. German authorities regularly use a broad range of legal procedures to seize, confiscate, and forfeit property, but they confiscate and forfeit a lot less property than the courts issue orders for.
